Summary: My 5 1/2 year-old has tics started from eye blinking many months ago (I didn't pay much attention) to now neck turning left and right and up with shoulder shrugging and grimacing. I think his gut is not healthy- He was born with silent acid reflux and thought grew out of it by 1 1/2 with help of medicine, milk formula didn't work for him at infancy. And he has been telling me he feels tummy pain after meals many times the past 6 months although PED didn't think much about it since he is still happily playing. He burps often on some days throughout the past few years, I always think he can't tolerate some food etc. WIth the rise of this new motor tics, he burps a lot too-during eating, sometimes throughout the day and lying down before sleep. Maybe gut issue!!! My questions are: 1) Are these testing my son need? vitamin deficiency test, metal test, food sensitivity test. 2) What other tests I need to find out if he has gut issues, like yeast or candida etc. 3) What kind of DR or professional will give me these tests? My PED only want to refer us to neurologist, but I know neurologist don't care to find cause for my son's tics. 4) Anyone find a good DR in NEW YORK and NEW JERSEY? Please reassure me, is good vitamin and cutting off diary and sugar and junk food a good start? Sorry, as a worried mother, I don't think too well due to lack of sleep right now. Thanks, Barb
